NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 27 The final mission of the third stage!

"The goal of the third stage of the continuous mission has begun. Mission requirements: participate in the 2003 NBA Draft and be selected with the lottery pick."

"This task is the final task of the novice task. After completing the task, you will receive 3000 points as a reward and a gold-level badge of your choice (note: it must be a badge held by Durant himself)."

The generous mission rewards made Wang Chong unable to help but feel the golden light in his eyes.

3000 points!

This is three times the reward this time, and there is also a gold-level badge reward. It is not the random badge before, but can be chosen according to his own wishes.

There are a large number of 2K badges, and although their functions are different, there are also quality differences. Some badges are ace badges, and equipment must be activated regardless of playing any position, while some are useless and unpopular badge skills.

The first two times when random badges were drawn, Wang Chong was very worried about picking up some junk skills. Fortunately, he was very lucky and could even be said to be of European royal blood. The three badges he obtained successively were for CIC Expert, Hot Zone Hunter and Death Coil are both skills that he can use at this stage, and are even quite practical.

Now if he can complete the third stage of the task, Wang Chong can use his own ideas to choose a badge he wants, and it will be a gold badge at the beginning, second only to the purple hall of fame level high-level badge.

"Lottery pick..."

As we all know, the so-called lottery area refers to the players with the highest draft picks. Strictly speaking, they are the draft picks from the No. 1 pick to the 14th pick.

This also represents the fourteen teams that fail to enter the playoffs in the league every season. In theory, they are the teams that most need high-quality rookies to join to strengthen their strength.

Regardless of the fact that there are fourteen positions in the lottery, the players in these fourteen positions every year are without exception the best of the best who emerge from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

If Wang Chong only relies on his performance in March Madness, it may be difficult to enter the lottery area.

After all, he has participated in too few games and the risk is very high. NBA teams are usually unwilling to take too much risk with their first-round picks.

Of course, this is limited to Wang Chong, who just finished the NCAA finals.

When the finals ended, Wang Chong, who received the reward, was completely different from before.

Not to mention the improvement in ability that 1000 points can bring to him, just the hot zone hunter badge and Durant's shooting action package are enough to increase his strength by a lot.

Wang Chong is fully confident about entering the league within the lottery area.

Looking at the confident Wang Chong, Wade opened his mouth, but in the end he just said one sentence. "You must think about it yourself. Timing is also very important. I don't think you are ready yet."

Wade will never understand that it has nothing to do with whether he is ready or not. In order to complete system tasks and get rewards, he has to do it even if he is not ready! ——

Marquette University won the NCAA championship, causing a big upset and causing quite a sensation in the United States.

But far away in China on the other side of the ocean, few people pay attention to it. Even because of Dayao's relationship, more and more people have learned about the sport of basketball and also know that the United States has a particularly powerful NBA, but for a university Who would pay attention to the organized basketball games?

But the very next day, the basketball section of Sports Weekly specially left a space to report in detail the relevant news about the NCAA, including the origin of March Madness, the NCAA Marquette University championship, and a member of the Marquette University team. A core player is a Chinese-American.

Such a report has successfully attracted the attention of many domestic fans.

"It turns out that there are many people like Yao and Zhi who can play in the United States!"

"It's a pity that he is a Chinese-American, but at least he has the blood of people of Chinese descent flowing through him. He won the NCAA championship and did not embarrass us!"

"Will this young man named Wang Chong also participate in the NBA draft? Didn't his university win the NCAA championship? Is it possible that he will be selected by the NBA as the No. 1 pick like Dayao?"

The name Wang Chong was spread in the country for the first time. Although it was only spread in a small area and did not reach the point where everyone knew it like Dayao, it finally took the first step.

<divclass="contentadv">A week later, in a coffee shop in Milwaukee, Wang Chong pushed in the door and the Chinese reporter sitting in a booth not far away immediately stood up. "This way, Wang Chong!"

"get out of class just ended." Wang Chong smiled at the other party.

Wang Chong, the first reporter to come to watch his game, already knew the opponent's name.

Zhang Hao is a name with extremely high usage rate in China, probably second only to common names like Zhang Wei.

At least Wang Chong didn't hear much about such a well-known basketball reporter later. He may have moved to behind-the-scenes work, or he may change careers in the future.

When Dayao joined the NBA, many domestic reporters traveled overseas, and Zhang Hao was just one of them.

After the two sat down, Zhang Hao ordered a cup of coffee for Wang Chong and then took out his notebook.

The two had made an agreement before. Wang Chong said that after he participated in the NCAA tournament, he would make time to be interviewed by Zhang Hao alone.

At that time, Zhang Hao thought it would only take a few days. After all, Marquette University is not a traditional NCAA powerhouse, and it was only a matter of time before it was eliminated in March Madness.

Unexpectedly, Marquette University seemed to be cheating, going all the way, and actually won the championship!

As a result, this exclusive interview had to wait until mid-April.

"First of all, congratulations on winning the NCAA championship. I watched all your games in March Madness. Although I couldn't attend a few of them due to work reasons, I also watched the game videos later." Zhang Hao said with a smile: " You played very well. You are the second-best player in the team after Wade and the absolute main force. Your contribution is indispensable for the team to win the championship..."

As soon as Zhang Hao came up, he gave Wang Chong a good blow.

But in fact, this is not a boast. At least Wang Chong's performance against Anthony in the finals, no matter when it is shown, it is not an exaggeration to brag about it.

"I heard that Wade will participate in the NBA draft this year. Next year, you will be the only one left to lead the team at Marquette University. Do you still have the confidence to take this team to the finals and even defend the championship?"

Zhang Hao asked.

Then he saw Wang Chong shake his head.

This action made Zhang Hao stunned.

how? Not confident?

Regardless of whether there is one or not, the slogan must be shouted first.

They say young people are full of energy, but why is Wang Chong, a 20-year-old young man, so lacking in confidence?

Zhang Hao also thought that Wang Chong was shaking his head because he was not sure that he could lead the team alone to achieve a performance comparable to this season.

He was obviously mistaken.

Wang Chong shook his head and said: "I will not continue to play for Marquette University next year because I have decided to participate in this year's draft. If nothing else happens, I will already be playing professionally in the NBA by this time next year."
